Thanks! I've noticed stringed instruments as common looping inputs, but 
figured processed tuba was a little less common (although there's a 
talented trumpet looper here, a Brian McCune, who uses an EDP to great 
effect).

Luckily I have a talented tuba player friend with a background in improv 
music. Not having any personal experience with brass instruments, I'm 
amazed at the range of noises he can get out of what I had mistakenly 
considered to be a rather limited palette instrument, before processing 
ever occurs. My mistake, and I'm happy to discover I was wrong on this 
:).

> Who is the tuba player?  Can you say?

A local to me friend of mine, that I'd prefer not to say until I ask him 
how he likes his name tossed out to the Internet :). When we have more 
recording, or a show to announce, I intend to name the other half of this 
duo. More later.

best,
